Minature vs. Baby Gladiolus 
There is some confusion among gardeners in the differentation 
between Miniature and Baby gladiolus. The Miniatures are small 
flowered varieties which are planted and tended exactly like the 
common varieties, but they have a wider range of flower forms. 
The Baby gladiolus are FALL PLANTED and have characteris- 
tically open, graceful flowers like those illustrated above.
